Hera turned to go into her apartment, feeling happy and giddy with excitement when she spotted Mariam staring at her with intent. She was standing on the front porch of her own apartment, and her hands were folded together nicely.
Hera rushed towards her. "I went out today, ma'am," she announced excitedly. The fact that her evening went better than she had anticipated made her feel a lot lighter that evening.
Mariam stared at her with worried eyes. She loved the fact that Hera was having fun, but the fact that the boss was trying to get close to her was something she didn't understand.
Mariam had always hoped that Bryce would change for the better, but she didn't know if Hera's innocence would last long enough to keep her safe or if she would get swayed by the boss eventually.
She knew that the boss wouldn't hurt her, but she just couldn't shake off the feeling of uneasiness and restlessness that settled inside her gut.
Her boss was a manwhore, and Hera knew absolutely nothing about men and their twisted intentions, and it bothered her deeply. The woman was too pure for him, and it made her think if she would be able to tame him or the other way around.
"I can see that," Mariam responded at last. "Did you have fun?"
"We drove through the big city, and then we had dinner in a beautiful and fancy restaurant," she explained in detail to Mariam, who watched her with rapt attention. Hera had a way of making the most boring event sound beautiful and very fun to listen to.
